Installing a Nokia Encryption Accelerator Card

The Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform supports a Nokia encryption
accelerator card to further enhance VPN performance. The accelerator card
provides high-speed cryptographic processing that enhances VPN
performance.
The IP1260 security platform comes with the Nokia encryption accelerator
card preinstalled as part of its base bundle.
If you ordered the Nokia encryption accelerator card as an option before
purchasing the IP1220, then the Nokia encryption accelerator card is installed
before the appliance is delivered.
The IP1200 Series uses a PMC format accelerator card. The accelerator card
has no external connections and requires no cables. The accelerator card
software package is part of IPSO, so the appliance automatically detects and
configures the card.
Use Nokia Network Voyager to configure your software applications (IPSec
or Check Point VPN) to make use of the available hardware accelerator. For
information about how to configure software applications, see
Software to Use Hardware Acceleration"
This section describes how to replace a previously installed accelerator card.
